Happy Monday! So is it snowing where you are? I heard on the news that it was 70 in California . . . . excuse me . . . . it’s in the teens here in Southern Indiana and it’s not expected to be much warmer any time soon! I’ll be ready for that warm weather by the time CHA rolls around.
Do y’all remember this?
I decided yesterday that it was time to alter that box.
I’ve been adding to my Studio 490 sets over the last few months (because I absolutely LOVE the backgrounds) and decided to use different backgrounds to stamp on the roses.
Backgrounds from Ticket to Art, Forever Art and Art by the Number were stamped in Snowcap Pigment Ink on the GrungePaper before I began applying the Distress Inks. I decided it might be fun to have different color roses, so here’s the list: Mustard Seed, Dusty Concord, Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick and Broken China. The leaves were done in Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint.
As with the previous rose box, I painted it black inside and out, then sanded down certain areas to make it look old. Those sanded areas were highlighted with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
I used two extra flourishes that I had previously die cut with Tim Holtz Elegant Flourishes Alterations. I painted them gold and used portions of them on the top of the box.
I haven’t decided yet what this is going to be used for. It could be a Birthday or a Christmas gift or just something I keep and hold onto for awhile. Who knows . . . it was just something fun to work on over a cold and snowy weekend!
Thanks for stopping by and remember . . . life is short, take advantage of the adventures that some your way today!
